Helen Thomas - To Thine Own Self be True
Ms Thomas is the epitome of this Bible sentence. Til the end of her days, she has stood true to what it means to be a Journalist. To ask the hard questions and expect the truth to be told. And when the audience was gone, she still asked the hard questions. Some of us were listening. Some of us just got on board.

"No, he did not answer the question", she reply to the person who was interviewing her. "We deserve to know why we are dying and why we are killing" "We need to know what is our Noble Cause is."

We should all learn from her example. To keep talking even when everyone is tired of hearing your voice. To keep asking the questions, even when there is no one there to give you an answer.

1. I thought Socrates said that -- not the Bible....


Made me think of something my dad used to say that always drove us nuts: "Let your conscience be your guide!"
